This double-event features the launch of Cherian George's (Hong Kong
Baptist University) book "Hate Spin: The Manufacture of Religious
Offense and its Threat to Democracy" (MIT Press) that shows how
right-wing movements in India, the USA and Indonesia incite hatred and
nationalism.
It also features a screening of short-films by the experimental
film-maker Harun Farocki, followed by a discussion featuring Claudio
Celis Bueno (Westminster Institute for Advanced Studies) and Michael
Cowan (University of St Andrews) of how these films relate to the
contemporary changes of labour and the economy in society.
